Original Advice

Your walls block love and growth: You call it independence, but it’s control. If no one can disappoint you, no one can delight you either. Safety without intimacy becomes loneliness.

Quit Mistaking Walls for Strength

Your walls don't protect you; they starve you. You renamed fear "independence" so you could keep control, and control keeps you untouched. If no one can disappoint you, no one can thrill you either. You curate people like a museum: rope, glass, alarms, and then wonder why nothing moves you. This is not sovereignty. It's isolation wearing a crown.

You learned to sprint ahead of hurt. Mars taught you to strike first, then call it clarity. Control is a superstition: if you arrange every variable, fate obeys. It doesn't. Intimacy requires risk the way fire requires oxygen. Friction creates heat; distance kills it. Stop pre-rejecting people to dodge pain. Let someone approach unscanned. Let an answer land before you bolting.
